, 02:34, 15 July 2023→Stage and Multitimbral Modes
By default Zynthian starts in '''stage mode'''. Stage mode is a kind of ''Omni-On'' mode, what means all MIDI messages are sent to the selected chain in your zynthian. You don't need to worry about the MIDI channel your keyboard/controller is using. You can change the instrument you play by selecting it in your zynthian or using ZS3's Programs Change feature (see below).

In the other hand, '''multitimbral mode''' allows receiving and managing separately every MIDI channel. Each external MIDI controller will drive the chain that is assigned to that controller's MIDI channel, e.g. a chain assigned to MIDI channel 1 will listen for MIDI messages on MIDI channel 1 only<sup>*</sup>.

If you are using a midi controller that can sequence multiple tracks (Beatstep Pro, Keystep Pro, Novation Circuit etc.) then you will generally want to use this setting.
(*) MIDI Continuous Controllers are handled differently. See section on [[#MIDI-learning_.2F_binding|MIDI Learning & binding]].

The home screen is the Mixer and it's always reachable by pressing bold-Back. Navigation between views is performed by pressing buttons or using the touchscreen. Most destructive changes, e.g. removing chains, will request confirmation. Operations that take time to complete may show an animated zynthian logo representing progress.
